In this mini-lesson, students learn how the unique properties of water help flowers bloom in the spring. In this activity, each student will make a colorful paper flower and a greeting card that they can give to any special person in their life. When placed in water, the paper flower will unfold, appearing to move and bloom in front of your eyes! You may want to use this as a Mother’s Day activity, but students choose who will receive their card, so it can be for anyone special.
